The Powers Behind the Global Empire - a Illuminati NWO Mark of the Luciferian Empire - NWO Today nwotoday.com

In the below: Rothschild is mentioned prominently 13 times. They are the Jew Banking House that actively worships Satan, especially in their Jew Masonic Rosecrucian Golden Dawn temple in London, awaiting the day when the Antichrist appears, hoping to obtain power, wealth and riches from the Son of Perdition. The Antichrist will rule the world from Jerusalem - he will be a Jew. The Antichrist will only last a very short time and then the Antichrist and all who follow him will go to hell forever when Our Lord Jesus Christ returns from Heaven and commands their damnation with one word of command. Have nothing to do with the Antichrist nor with the Mark of the Beast, upon pain of eternal damnation.

• THE NEW WORLD ORDER'S HISTORY
• NEW WORLD ORDER'S AGENDA

The Powers - Behind the Global Empire The New World Order is made up of various controlling components, Political, Military, Economic, Scientific, Cultural and Religious. These entities are the outer core of what the you and I see and understand today while the inner core is concealed through the inner workings of occult societies of secrets. Their goal is a One World Government with a one world leader, their New Adam known as the Antichrist. Today, the United States plays a major role, holding onto a veneer of Christianity and a core of pure Gnostic Luciferianism, the New Atlantis. The Global Throne of the Luciferian Empire consists of three pillars of power and these three Monopolies control the Financial, Military and Religious Power Centers of our world whereby encompassing the Political, Scientific and cultural aspects of society today. They are above the laws of the land of which they occupy and they have been in operation a long time. Their preferred titles are City States and this description does fit them, but their core beliefs and principles can be better defined as Communism or the Illuminati, which are exactly the same. The Powers behind the Global Empire, the City States of 'The Vatican', 'The District of Columbia' and 'The City of London' form one interlocking Empire. These three City State corporations control the world economically, through the City of London Corporation, Militarily, through Washington DC - the District of Columbia, Spiritually, through The Vatican - Vatican City. These City States are, knowingly or unknowingly, fulfilling Biblical prophecy to the letter using mankind's intellect and today's technology, their foundation is found in Genesis 3, Lucifer. From its inception, America has always had a special place in the plans of the New World Order. The three stars shown on the flag of The District of Columbia (to the left) reference three city States, one for each City in the Empire. These entities pay no taxes to their host nations, they are under no National Authority, they have their own Independent Flag, they have their own Separate Laws, they have their own Police Force and have totally Independent Identities from the rest of the world. These three city-states share striking similarities and play a crucial role in the global governmental system. They are sovereign, corporate entities that are not connected to the nations they appear to be part of. Again, just to clarify, the City of London is not technically part of Greater London or England just as Vatican City is not part of Rome or Italy and Washington DC is not a part of the United States, although DC does have controlling power over it and its political system. Washington DC was established as a city-state in 1871 with the passage of the Act of 1871, which established the United States as a corporation under the rule of Washington, which itself is subservient to the City of London. Corporations are run by presidents, which is why we call the person perceived to hold the highest seat of power in the land “the president.” The fact is the president is nothing more than a figurehead for the central bankers and transnational corporations, both of which are controlled by High Ecclesiastic Freemasonry. Washington DC operates under a system of Roman Law and not under of the limitations established by the US Constitution. It should not be a surprise that the name Capitol Hill derives from Capitoline Hill, which was the seat of government for the Roman Empire. If you look at the wall behind the podium in the House of Representatives, you will notice that on either side of the US flag is the depiction of bundles of sticks tied together with an axe. These are called fasci, the root word of fascism. This was the symbol of fascism in the Roman Empire, under the Nazis and it still is today. These symbols are featured on the floor of Congress and the United States corporation is controlled by the Crown, which is not the British Monarchy as many believe, but rather the private corporation that is the inner ‘City of London’ itself, also commonly known as “The City” or “The Square Mile.” This square mile that makes up the center of Greater London has its own mayor, laws, courts, flag, police force and newspaper. It is the heart of the global financial system. The constitution for the District of Columbia operates under the tyrannical Roman law known as “Lex Fori” which bears no resemblance to US Constitution. When congress passed the act of 1871 it created a separate corporation known as THE UNITED STATES and a corporate government for the District of Columbia. This treasonous act allowed the District of Columbia to operate as a corporation outside the original constitution of the United States and outside of the best interests of American citizens. A most excellent article was written by Lisa Guliani in 2004, read it here. The Obelisk's of the Empire An obelisk, or Egyptian frozen snake is a tall four-sided monolithic stone monument which tapers at the top in a pyramidal fashion which generally carries inscriptions. The ancient Egyptians usually erected them in pairs and associated them with the rays of the Sun, which increase in width as they reach the Earth. The earliest known examples, excavated at Abu Sir, Egypt, date from the reign of Neuserre (2449-2417 BC). So popular were these monuments among the Roman emperors that 13 of them were taken to Rome. Today, historic Egyptian examples stand in Paris, Florence, and Rome. Cleopatra's Needles, named for the famous Egyptian queen, are two ancient Obelisks presented by the khedive of Egypt to Great Britain and the United States. The British monument is located on the Thames Embankment in London. The US one is in New York City's Central Park, they were originally erected c.1500 BC in the city of Heliopolis by Thutmose III. Yes, these three city-states also have their own obelisks which are phallic in appearance and they are symbolic of the Egyptian sun god, Ra, as well as the ancient symbol of male energy and generation in Freemasonry. Rome, Italy leads the pack with more obelisks than any other city in the world. There are still thirteen which have been there through most of the history of ancient Rome. One of the most well known obelisk stands in the middle of St. Peter's Square, measuring 82 feet tall and weighing 320 tons (to the left). The St. Peter’s Square obelisk was originally made in Egypt and transported to Rome in the year 37 AD by the Emperor Caligula. He then had it placed in the Circus of Nero. Then in 1586 Pope Sixtus V decided to move it in front of St. Peter's Basilica. An interesting note on the St. Peters obelisk is that this obelisk is also a sundial. In 1817 several disks of marble were placed in the ground surrounding it to form the compass rose as well as the meridian line. Legend has it that in the Vatican Circus, innumerable Christians, including St. Peter, were put to death. The Vatican City State  owns some of the world’s most powerful telescopes and has been exploring the skies since Pope Gregory XIII who had the Tower of the Winds built in the Vatican in 1578 and later called on Jesuit astronomers and mathematicians to study the scientific data and implications of the calendar which occurred in 1582. One of the world's largest optical telescopes , VAT is owned by the Vatican, who according to Popular Science magazine, sets on Mount Graham right next to the LBT. The LBT spectrographs acronym is Large Binocular Telescope Near-infrared Utility with Camera and Integral Field Unit for Extragalactic Research, or "LUCIFER ". Whew, they must really like that name but, when your neighbor calls his hamster Demon , who's fault is it? learn more here. The Vatican  has colossal wealth including enormous investments with the Rothschilds in Britain and France and the USA and with giant oil and weapons corporations like 'Shell', 'British Petroleum' and 'General Electric'. The Vatican's solid gold bullion is worth Billions and is stored within the Rothschild controlled 'Bank of England' and the USA's 'Federal Reserve Bank'. The Catholic Church is the biggest financial power, wealth accumulator and property owner in existence, possessing more material wealth than any Bank, Corporation, Giant Trust or Government anywhere on the globe. The Pope who is the visible ruler of this colossal global wealth, is one of the richest Men on earth. Vatican City also has its own mayor called the 'Governatorate', it's own laws, flag, postal service, newspaper, radio and television stations, and prison. The London obelisk, the "fallen" obelisk, is located on the banks of the River Thames and was transported and erected under the reign of Queen Victoria. The London obelisk originally stood in the Egyptian city of On, or Heliopolis, the City of the Sun around 1450 BC. The Knights Templar's land extended to this area of the Thames where they had their own docks. This obelisk is surrounded by symbolism dating back to the ancient world. London's obelisk was presented to the city in 1819 but remained in Alexandria for nearly 60 years until it was moved. It cost £10,000 to bring this Cleopatra's Needle to London and although the obelisk capsized in a storm, it was eventually moved to London in January 1878. The structure is made of red granite and stands about 68 feet high and weighs 180-ton. Egyptian hieroglyphs cover the structure and experts note that these were added about 200 years later by Ramesses II in honor of his military victories. In about 12 BC - when Egypt was part of the Roman Empire, the London and New York obelisks were moved to the city of Alexandria and placed in the Caesareum. Two bronze replicas of Egyptian sphinxes sit on either side of London's Cleopatra's Needle and bear the inscription 'the good god, Thuthmosis III given life' written in hieroglyphics. Today, the City State of London  is the worlds financial Power Center and the wealthiest square mile on the planet. It houses; the Rothschild controlled 'Bank of England', Lloyds of London, The London Stock Exchange, All British Banks, The Branch offices of 384 Foreign Banks, 70 USA Banks, Fleet Streets Newspaper and Publishing Monopolies, Headquarters for Worldwide Freemasonry and Headquarters for the worldwide money cartel known as 'The Crown'. It is not part of London or England or the British Commonwealth. US President Barack Obama, the same as others before him, operate as the Vassal King taking orders from 'The City of London' through the RIIA (Royal Institute of International Affairs). The House of Rothschild is a international dynasty of Germans of Jewish descent who established a worldwide banking and finance operation. The offspring's of Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744-1812) have spread all over Europe and became major actors in the social, political and economic life of the continent. By knitting close ties with the elite of England, Austria, France and Italy, the Rothschild Dynasty became a hidden force in most political events of the last centuries. According to John Todd, they are the Luciferian head of the 13 bloodlines of the Illuminati with the Rockefeller dynasty of America, being the Western Arm. One of the most unpublicized Rothschild holdings is the Israel Supreme Court  complex in front of the Knesset (Israeli legislature) in Jerusalem. Dorothy de Rothschild gave Israel their Supreme Court building under three conditions: the Rothschilds were to choose the plot of land, they would use their own architect and no one would ever know the price of its construction. Dorothy de Rothschild's husband James A. de Rothschild donated to Israel the money for their Parliament building, aka the Knesset, (dedicated in 1966). Israel, the same as every government on earth today, is under the controlling arm of Luciferianism. Masonic and Illuminati principles are physically embodied in numerous instances of the Israeli Supreme Court building. The reasons are quite evident, it is a Temple of the Masonic Mystery Religion and it is built by the elite, for the elite. The complex is capped with a pyramid, complete with a all seeing eye and a obelisk as well (on the left). A journey through the Supreme Court is a symbolic course thru Illumination. The goal of the journey is to reach the top of the pyramid which is on the roof, atop an area where the 'Holy of Holies'would be in a 'Jewish Temple'. The upper levels of the building hosts a library which is divided in three levels, symbolically representing the top three degrees of Freemasonry. The esoteric meaning of this building is concealed from the public but it unmistakably reveals to the initiates, who possesses the worlds real power. The library contains legal, judicial, philosophical and spiritual works with a wealth of esoteric knowledge. The highest level of the library is the base of the pyramid where Freemasonry symbolically ends and the hidden order of the Illuminati begins. The Supreme Court is a temple of the Mysteries, pagan rituals interlaced with an esoteric, kabbalistic interpretation of the Scriptures. According to John Todd, to Luciferians the Rothschild's are the occultist elect and answer only to Lucifer. The Washington Obelisk, standing at 555 feet, is both the world's tallest stone structure and the world's tallest obelisk and also the tallest standing structure in Washington DC. The monument is made of marble, granite, and blue-stone gneiss and the cornerstone was laid on July 4, 1848, the capstone was set on December 6, 1884, and it was dedicated on February 21, 1885. It officially opened October 9, 1888 and the monument’s cornerstone, a 12-ton slab of marble, was donated by the Grand Lodge of Freemasons. Yes, in the DC city state, this obelisk known as the Washington monument was dedicated to the Freemason George Washington by the Freemason grand lodge of the District of Columbia. 250 Masonic lodges financed the Washington obelisk monument, including the Knights Templar Masonic order. Like the Vatican obelisk, the Washington monument too is surrounded by a circle denoting the female. The reflecting pool in front of the monument signifies the ancient Masonic/Kabbalistic dictum, as above/so below. By now your asking, how are these three cities ultimately connected? We must first go back to the Knights Templar and their initial 200-year reign of power. The Knights Templar were first called “the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and the Temple of Solomon. It was the Templar's who issued the first paper money for public use in Europe, establishing the fiat banking system we know today. In England, the Templar's established their headquarters at a London temple, which still exists today and is called Temple Bar. This is located in the City of London, between Fleet Street and Victoria Embankment. The 'Crown' to be exact, is the Knights Templar church, also known as the Crown Temple. All bar associations are directly linked to the International Bar Association and the Inns of Court at Crown Temple in the City of London. Anytime you hear somebody refer to the Bar Association, they are talking about a British/Masonic system that has nothing to do with a country’s sovereignty or constitutional rights. This is why, when you go to court in the US, you see the US flag with a gold fringe, denoting international rule. The global financial and legal system is controlled from the City of London by the Crown. The square mile making up the center of Greater London is the global seat of power, at least at the visible level. The Temple Bar consists of what are called Inns of Court. There are four Inns of Court: the Inner Temple, the Middle Temple, Lincoln’s Inn and Gray’s Inn. Most Americans (and people in general) believe the US declared independence from Britain when this is simply not the case. Of the signatories to the Declaration of Independence, at least five of them were Temple Bar attorneys, all of whom had sworn allegiance to the Crown. Alexander Hamilton was one of the Middle Crown agents during the formation of the US and was assigned to set up the American banking system on orders from the Crown, to control the United States. In fact a ‘State’ is a legal entity of the Crown. The signed treaties and charters between Britain and the United States reveals that King James the 1st was not only famous for translating the Bible, but for signing the first charter of Virginia in 1606. That charter granted America's British forefathers a license to settle and colonize America and guaranteed future kings and queens of England to have sovereign authority over citizens and colonized land in America. The treaty of 1783 identifies the king of England as the prince of the United States. King George the 3rd gave up most of his claims over American colonies, but he kept his right to continue receiving payment for his business venture of colonizing America. Why did I go directly to the powers behind the Global Empire? Simply this, by revealing the foundational root system, the branches can be given new meaning. There's a total of 193 nations in the world today and Lucifer has control of them all - 100% of all governments. The United Nations - his, the European Union - his, the Vatican - his. He has his own seat in the midst of the council of 13 with the Rothschild's. He takes on the name of the Great Owl as demon goddess Lilith at Bohemian grove. The United States government, the same as all governments, are up to their eyeballs in the New World Order system, its a ongoing Luciferian revolution of Communist/Illuminati goals, focused on total control. Hopefully, you can now see the power structure above is complex, veiled in deception and completely hidden by the worlds media resources. Most individuals don't have a clue of the big picture as they focus on the singularity of life, in their small block of the Luciferian ant farm, portrayed today as our world. Today's world system is a chess game with the chessmen in the final position of what is described as the chess endgame, Lucifer and his Aquarian Age. Scripture says it will be cut short and in the end, the powers behind this Global Empire system will be just a house of cards, standing on sinking sand. Revelation 16: 16, their Grand Finale, read it sometime. Next up: Lucifer's Playground I've kept it as simple as I could but, brace yourself connecting the dots will conflict with your popular world views.

Freemasonry, Adam Weishaupt and the Illuminati

Ed. Note – from the Catholic Dictionary, page 149, 1950. Masons. An international fraternal organization which dates in its present form from the first quarter of the 18th century, and claims connection with similar organizations of pre-Christian times. They state their aim as “work for the welfare of mankind” and claim to “strive morally to ennoble themselves and others and thereby to bring about a universal league of mankind.” Catholics are forbidden under pain of excommunication to belong to the Masons. In the beginning, the Masons were largely anticlerical and were guilty of secret and open plotting against the Church and against civil governments. Masonry is also objectionable to Catholics because it is a religion of pure naturalism. Masons have their own beliefs about God, human morality, and the human soul. Moreover, they have their own religious rites. Catholicism, the uniquely true religion founded by Christ, therefore, is irreconcilable with Masonry.

From: Adam Weishaupt and the Illuminati Freemasonry Lodge Adam Weishaupt and Freemasonry Home "He shall honour the God of forces: a god whom his fathers knew not"... he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws Dan:7:25;11:38 "Weishaupt had long been scheming the establishment of an Association or Order, which in time, should govern the World." (Robison's proof of a Conspiracy) There have always been Occultists who practiced the process of Illumination, but the term "Illuminati" was used first in the 15th Century by enthusiasts in the Occult Arts, signifying those who claimed to possess "light" directly communicated from some higher source, through mysticism. We find the name "Illuminati" in Spain about the end of the 15th Century. The Founder of the Jesuit Order, Ignatius Loyola classed himself as a member of the Illuminati. And, from time to time, here and there, small bodies of those called "The Illuminati", sometimes known as Rosicrucians" rose into publicity for a short period. But it was the Order that Dr. Adam Weishaupt headed that was the best known of all the Illuminati Orders. Dr. Adam Weishaupt founded the Order of the Illuminati on May 1, 1776. It is no accident that May 1st is considered to be a "high Day" among Witches! -Janet Stewart Farrar, Eight Sabbats for Witches, pg. 80,81 Weishaupt was a Jesuit Priest who was involved in "Illumination" or Witchcraft. In 1773, due to the pressure of the European Governments- was put out of existence by the Pope. And so, the Jesuits had to secularize. Ingolstadt University in Bavaria had been a Jesuit Institution for many years. Weishaupt was professor of Canon Law there at Ingolstadt. He wanted to see the Jesuit Order come back into power, and eventually, he published a Plan to help the Jesuits take over the world. This Plan is laid out in a book called "Proofs of a Conspiracy" by John Robison, in 1798, and is discussed in other books as well: "Weishaupt had long been scheming the establishment of an Association or Order, which in time, should govern the world! In his first fervor and high expectations, he hinted to several ex-Jesuits the probability of their recovering, under a new name, the influence which they formerly possessed, and of being again of great service to society, by directing the education of youth of distinction, now emancipated from all civil and religious prejudices." -Proofs of a Conspiracy, John Robison, pg. 59 Weishaupt formed his own Secret Society and called it The Illuminati- after the "Illuminism" or Witchcraft that he practiced. Like Freemasonry, the Illuminati is a Luciferian Movement used to preserve and promote the ancient Black Arts of Babylonian and Druid Witchcraft. Weishaupt began the Order of Illuminati with a mere 5 members. In order to stay hidden from the vast population, Weishaupt and his co-conspirators selected for themselves "code names". Weishaupt himself assumed the name of Spartacus, and another Illuminist, Baron Von Knigge assumed the secret name of Philo. As a measure of security, the Order would correspond, using their pen names. Weishaupt's goal was and to use Humanism (Atheism) to do it with. Then he would set up a One-World Government. And in order for his plan to succeed, Weishaupt realized that he needed to operate as much under cover as possible, and then when the gullible world finally found out what he and his Illuminati Order were up to, it would already be too late to undo the damage or to stop all of the plans that he had already set into motion! This was another reason for having such great secrecy within his Order of the Illuminati. And, besides assuming their secret names for their members- the Illuminati also tried to hide their location, as they traveled in various countries, spreading their evil Illuminist Doctrines. They did this by using "Secret Code Names" to tell the other members of their Order where they were. For instance, Ingolstadt, Germany was given the secret name of "Eleusis", Austria was "Egypt", Munich was called "Athens, and Vienna took on the name of "Rome". The Illuminati even went so far as to invent their own calendar, so that the dates when they planned to meet would remain a secret! The names of the months on their calendar were changed. January became "Dimeh", and February became "Bemah", and so on." -An Encyclopedia of Freemasonry and its kindred sciences, Mackey, (33rd degree Mason), pg. 346 THE ILLUMINATI- "THE CHOSEN ONES" In the picture below, you can see a work on Illuminism on display at the Museum of Ingolstadt. Adam Weishaupt taught his disciples that the Illuminati were the only members of the human race who were truly enlightened or "illuminated" and who had a handle on what everything in life was all about. Weishaupt had his followers believing that they were the cream of the Intelligentsia, and that only people with the knowledge, mental capabilities and insight to govern the world and to bring world peace. -Encyclopedia of Occultism and Parapsychology, Vol. I, pg. 460. The Illuminati believed that those who were not of their Order, had the "lower class" unenlightened worldview, and were their social and spiritual inferiors. The members of this Secret Brotherhood had been taught that the so-called "Illuminated", superior new man is not limited by the world's traditional values. Supposedly, they had a pure spiritual nature that "transcended" the normal confines of good and evil. This outlook on things that the Illuminati had was aided by the fact that they partook of the drug, hashish, which was the same drug that was used by the Assassins. The leader of the Theosophical Society and "Mother" of the New Age Movement, Helena Blavatsky, wrote about how drugs, such as opium and Hashish were used in the ancient Mystery Religions to achieve altered states of consciousness, so that the practicers of that religion could "communicate with the Gods". And the use of this drug, Hashish, surely caused those of the Illuminati Order to really believe that they were in some sort of "other dimension" and that they were "the favored ones" who were allowed to know and hear the "Great Plan of the Gods" for the World's Spiritual Evolution! This feeling of being those who were especially favored by the Gods no doubt led the Illuminati members to have an extraordinary belief that their plans for the World had to be carried out and that thus, "the end justifies the means" was their motto, and nothing was allowed to stand in their way! METHOD OF ORGANIZATION In 1779, Adam Weishaupt divided his Secret Organization into 3 classes: 1) Novice 2) Minerval 3) Illuminated Minerval As done in Masonry, the initiates of the Illuminati received "more light" as they progress up the ladder of the Degrees. Weishaupt induced mysticism into the workings of the Brotherhood, so that an air of mystery would pervade its entire doings. He adopted many of the classes and grades of Freemasonry and held out hopes that there would be a revealing of "deep occult secrets" as the initiates were on up into the higher ranks of the Illuminati. In the lower grades, the candidate was merely tried and prepared for the higher "Mystery" degrees. If he was found to be loyal to the Order and a good keeper of their secrets, and an apt scholar, he was gradually initiated into the higher degrees, where all that he had been formerly taught was overthrown, and radical and deistic theories and plans were then unfolded. Deism involves the reliance solely upon human reason. An "Illuminatus" is a Master Mason who has received all of the light that can be gained in Masonry. Such a one is beyond the 33 Degree of Masonry and is known as "Master" of the Temple. Thus, the Illuminati's goal was to be an elite group of "Super Masons". For the Order's strategy to be successful, the activities of its members had to remain a secret. Initiates were therefore sworn to secrecy, taking bloody oaths, describing what would happen to them if they ever defected from the Order or revealed its plans. All of the Initiates were bound to perpetual silence, total loyalty, and complete submission to the Order and its leaders. If all of this sounds like the Order of the Jesuits, with the idea of complete submission to the pope and its church leaders, it is because Adam Weishaupt, Founder of the Illuminati, was formerly himself a Jesuit! One feature of the Illuminati Society was that of a system of mutual espionage. Every member spied on every other member. Every month the Novice, or lower level member, was required to deliver to Weishaupt a sealed letter that revealed every aspect of his relationship with his Superior. Then when the Novice was promoted to the Minerval grade, an initiation ceremony was performed, during which time, the initiate was taken to a dimly lit room, at night. It was here that he learned the secret signs and passwords. He was allowed to learn who else was in the Minerval grade, but the identities of the members of the Illuminated Minerval were not disclosed. This is just like what is done in Freemasonry; only a few top men within their organization are allowed to actually understand the true goals of the Order. Only a few of the Illuminati members knew Adam Weishaupt personally, and thus, although the Society if the Illuminati had many branches in all parts of Germany, to these few people alone was Adam Weishaupt visible. For this reason, those who had never seen him came to regard him almost as a "god".
